Palmitate-Induced IRE1–XBP1–ZEB Signaling Represses Desmoplakin Expression and Promotes Cancer Cell Migration
26 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Elevated uptake of saturated fatty acid palmitate is associated with metastatic progression of cancer cells; however, the precise signaling mechanism behind the phenomenon is unclear. The loss of cell adhesion proteins, such as desmoplakin (DSP), is a key driving event in the transformation of cancer cells to more aggressive phenotypes. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which palmitate induces the...
